S-7S INSTRUMENTS AND ELECTRICAL

(REFER TO PARTS PAGE # 004-04/004-08/004-10 FOR PARTS SELECTION)
Refer to parts page 004-04.
Due to the different instruments and flight systems that S-7S builders are
choosing, RANS does not supply gauges with the kit.
Bolt the ground cable to the battery box mount tab without the nut plate. Refer to
the battery box section. Attach the other end of the cable to the negative terminal
on the battery. IMPORTANT: Do NOT attach the ground cable to the battery
until all wiring is complete and you are ready to start the engine.
Install the positive cable (Battery to Solenoid) into the fuselage and attach to the
positive battery terminal. Attach the forward end to one pole on the solenoid.
NOTE: The cable exits on the right lower side of the firewall through a rubber
grommet. Route the cable down the right side of the fuselage using zip ties to
retain it to the frame. Do not install ties or route the cable where they may come
in contact with the fabric.
Bolt the Solenoid to Starter cable to the second pole on the solenoid and to the
pole on the starter. Bolt the Starter to Ground cable to the large boss on the
back of the starter and attach the other end to the bolt retaining the engine mount
to the fuselage.
Install the instruments and switches into the instrument panel. Set the instrument
panel in the fuselage. Refer to the parts pages wiring schematic, Rotax manuals
and FIGURE 04A-01 and wire all instruments and switches. NOTE: The VDO
tachometer leads are color coded. The Tach is not affected by switching these
leads. However, it is important that the lead that attaches to the (-) terminal also
be grounded.
Refer to parts page 004-10 and install the static and pitot lines as shown in the
schematic. Route the lines to exit the fuselage on the left hand side of the station
3 top cross tube and connect to the fittings on the wing pitot and static lines.
Refer to parts page 004-08 and install the jack mounts to the fuselage frame
tubes as shown.
